meadowfield 1,900 #1 Posted April 24, 2015 I've drawn up a set of Bolens decals for Andrew (triumph66) from photos and a few measurements he's given me. Would appreciate it if anyone can give me some measurements for the hood decals and if anyone has a clear pic of the high/low decal. thanks 1 Triumph66 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Triumph66 1,256 #2 Posted April 24, 2015 PM you Mark. Looking very good and I can't wait to put the finishing touches to the 800. 1 HeadExam reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HeadExam 1,783 #3 Posted April 25, 2015 Those decals look very, very nice. There aren't many Bolens around here, may be more of them over your way. I collect 1970-1979 hydrostatic drive garden tractors all 14/15/16 horsepower, that way I leave some tractors for others, because I don't leave many that fall into this category Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
slf-uk 914 #4 Posted April 25, 2015 Those decals looks very good Mark. Unfortunately I can't help by measuring the decals on my 900 or 600 as the 900 has had the decals removed in the past and my 600 is a model with different decals. Happy to be corrected but to me the gear selector decal looks too small. I thought that it was about the same width as the PTO decal is long. The size of the hood decals will be hard to determine as I have seen 800's with large decals on the side and front and also smaller ones. Iain Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
OldBuzzard 186 #5 Posted April 25, 2015 Sorry, but the hood decals aren't close to being correct. Those look more like a 1050 than an 800. Here are some pics of my all original 1964 800 so you can see what they should look like. 1 meadowfield reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Triumph66 1,256 #6 Posted April 25, 2015 That's interesting as my 800 has been identified as a 1964/65 model by Brian aka Bolens 10000. He said that there are two styles for that period. The one you got on yours and the one on this 1964 model. As you know, Bolens periodically changed their decals and colour schemes regularly. Brian's article on TFs explains all this. http://gardentractortalk.com/articles.html/_/history/bolens-tractors-the-tube-frame-series-1962-1978-r68 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
